Prelude: Afternoon at the Lake
Dark clouds blanket the sky over a lake, dampening the peaceful mood. A storm approaches. The piece opens softly over a low G on the pedals, becoming louder as a summer storm draws near. Pedal notes portray the distant rumblings.
Etude: Thunderstorm
Octaves on the pedals herald the storm, brief and powerful as it passes by. The music slowly subsides with the tempest's passing. Pedal notes portray both the thunder overhead, and the distant rumblings later in the piece, echoing those in the Prelude.
I played on my new Content Clavis 224R. Previously, I composed organ music on a digital piano using the Hauptwerk software. Here is another organ piece of mine: ua-cam.com/video/0q1aoFqvEKE/v-deo.html
On my channel, I briefly discuss the focal dystonia in my right hand - finger positioning is different than the left, but relaxation techniques have helped with movement and extension. Here is a video where symptoms are less prevalent: ua-cam.com/video/s9u9F_lQc3I/v-deo.html
